Hey All,
recently I started browsing trough this forum and concluded that here would an excellent place to tell (and get some feedback) about my project I've been working on.
So what I try to do is to build a cable car of the model funitel, this is a cable car with one cable looped twice, so each gondola has two cables where it
I started this project digitally in LDD but soon became I limited by the grouping of parts and making of modules. Since this project has a lot of repetition, modularity is a must. I started with setting modules in separate LDD files be this became cumbersome and created merge issues and so forth. Therefore I converted all files into LDR files with one file for each module, allowing for easy reuse.
The current status of this project is that it for 80% complete (I guess). There are 18000+ parts used, grouped into 89 unique modules. The use of LDCad allows me to easily swap between files and work quickly between the modules. Also, I (mis-)use the pneumatic hoses as cable to complete the picture.
my to do list:
- I'm working on getting some animation done, I hope to get everything animated but that will take a while.
- Finishing the valley station as only a skeleton build now
- Adding an environment, (forest and ski slopes) and some architectural designs.
Finally a render of all described above:

POV-ray export from LDCad 1.6, I removed the default lighting and added lights as part of an one-stud part I placed on places in the model where I wanted a light.

| 43722 & 43723 |

Hi
I am relatively new to this, so I may have just failed to find these parts, but I don't seem to be able to find 43722 (Right Plate 2x3 with Angle) or 43723 (Left Plate 2x3 with Angle). I've tried looking under "without corner" as that seems to be the convention in the library, but no joy.
If anyone has the time, could they either point out my mistake or create these parts for me?
Thanks
James
